ssh multiplexing and virtual screens are two different things. you
all know what virtual screens are using screen and window, but ssh
multiplexing allows one to, say, open up one control session to
your server then "piggy back" the rest of them over that channel -
the advantage is that one can do anything else over that same
channel: tunneling, more ttys, X forwarding, rsync, cvs, whatever
leveraging that one channel - net gain is performance. basically,
it speeds up all my actions to one server. try it, you'll love it ;)
